No fewer 11 people were injured after suspected political thugs invaded an area in Ilorin, Kwara State where the family residence of the President of the Senate, Dr Bukola Saraki, is located.

WuzupNaija gathered that the hoodlums, who raided Agbaji area of the Agbaji Area of the ancient town on Sunday, also damaged about 50 vehicles, two mosques and about five buildings.

WuzupNnaija further gathered that the raid on the area started around 11.30am, with the hoodlums shooting sporadically into the air.

 

According to the President of Agbaji Development Association, Alhaji Olanrewaju Yusuf, the thugs were led by some stalwarts of an opposition party.

Yusuf claimed that one of the victims of the attack, a seven-year-old, died.

He said,

“We learnt that a boy in Ode Alausa, just opposite this house (Saraki’s homestead), who was hit by a bullet has died. His name is Abubakare.”

“The thugs came around 11.30am and shot into the air. In fact, they were provided cover by the police. At least 11 people sustained injuries from bullets, while about 50 cars including that of Imam Aliagan were destroyed.

“The thugs also stole four motorcycles, money and jewellery from shops deserted by their owners”.
